[1] He was one of the most important footballers in the amateur beginnings of Madrid FC, being one of the main architects of the team's rise to national dominance in the 1900s.
He was one of the members of the first Board of Directors of Madrid FC presided by Juan Padrós in the club's official establishment on 6 March 1902.
[1] Together with Pedro Parages, Federico Revuelto and the Giralt brothers (Mario, José and Armando), he was part of the historic Madrid team that played in the first-ever Copa del Rey in 1903, and it was he who netted the opening goal in the final although they lost 2–3 to Athletic Club.
In the 1904 Copa del Rey, Español de Madrid was unable to participate in the final, and so, Athletic were declared winners again.
[9] He stayed loyal to Español de Madrid for three years, until 1906, when he saw that it was the "madridistas" - a nickname that would come years later - who began to have a notable growth both institutionally and sportingly, so he returned to the club that he had left in 1903, and participated in Madrid's 1907 and 1908 Copa del Rey winning campaigns, missing the final of the former, but redeeming himself by being the top scorer in the 1908 edition thanks to his goal in the 1908 final against Vigo Sporting, which ended in a 2–1 win.
